The Patriots were always going to get healthier with an upcoming bye week.

They just happened to be turn the corner sooner than expected.

Four players were lifted off New England's injury report Friday, its final before this weekend's kickoff at Tennessee. Wideouts Julian Edelman and Cordarrelle Patterson were cleared along with defensive end John Simon and long snapper Joe Cardona for Sunday.

Six Patriots remained on the injury report as questionable, including running back Sony Michel, Rob Gronkowski and Trent Brown, who appeared in his first practice of the week Friday. The Titans also listed six players on their injury report. Starting right tackle Jack Conklin is Tennessee's only player ruled out for Sunday.
